Abstract

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the order of life in various aspects of life, including the field of education in Indonesia.

AIM: The purpose of the study was to determine student perceptions and acceptance of the online learning process during the COVID-19 pandemic.

METHODS: The research is in the form of a survey using Google Forms about the perception and acceptance of online lectures during the COVID-19 pandemic for nursing students at universities in Indonesia, a questionnaire sent via Whatsapp. Held from July 1, 2021, to July 30, 2021.

RESULTS: The many of respondents aged 17-19 years (50%) with a Diploma-students (62.9%). Most of them have intermediate-level skills in using information technology (82.2%). The platform that is often used is Zoom meeting. While other platforms are Whatsapp and Edmodo. The advantages of online learning are that students state that they can study from home (22.2%) and easily access online sources of material (19.9%) and can obtain recordings of each lesson (18.6%). Constraints that are often faced are technical problems (24.6%), very minimal interaction with lecturers (18.4%) and very minimal interaction between students (17.5%). Age and skills in using technology, information, and communication have a significant effect on students' perceptions of online learning (p<0.05). Most respondents have a negative perception (52.2%) about online learning.

CONCLUSION: Although there are several advantages to online learning, students' perceptions of the learning process are negative, meaning that they are happier and still want face-to-face learning.
